UNDERSTAND
Many of us try to get the most mileage out of our wardrobe, purchasing items that can be worn to the office and on the weekend. A new study suggests that the more we wear our clothes, the less likely we’ll continue to like them.

LEARN
Gone are the days of staying in cookie cutter hotels abroad. Millennials are looking for a more authentic experience overseas and would prefer to stay in a small boutique hotel, an AirBnB, or a hostel rather than shell out cash for an American hotel chain. Marriott is looking to reinvent its properties with more local flavor in an attempt to capture the attention of–and the dollars from–a new generation of travelers.

We’re spending more time at home with my broken foot, but I won’t feel like I’m missing out on anything if we plan a margarita night with plenty of chips and this fresh peach salsa.

IDENTIFY
I didn’t grow up with a computer. I remember the first day I played Oregon Trail in school. I collected AOL free trial CDs that came in the mail and used them to decorate my bedroom walls. I passed real handwritten notes in class. Basically, this article sums up my adolescence.

CELEBRATE
It’s my birthday today! We’re visiting friends in the Twin Cities to celebrate the big three-two with ice cream cake, cocktails, and Cards Against Humanity.

BUY
I can’t tell you how much I adore Rachelle for letting me know about this dress. I was devastated (not an exaggeration) when the extra small, small, and medium didn’t work out in the original AG Jeans x Alexa Chung version of the dress. Even though the silhouette is supposed to be baggy, I didn’t look carefree and flirty. I looked frumpy. Not a look I’m going for at $200. This one, however, is perfect. There’s less fabric, so it hangs straight down instead of billowing out to the sides. Ignore the weird synthetic fabric blend on the website. It’s 100% cotton. I went with a size small.
